Zac's passive should be reduced at later levels like Aatrox

Right now his passive has a cooldown of 300 seconds at all levels. I feel that's just too long late game. Zac isn't that weak though which is why I think this would be a good touch to his kit. As someone who dives in fights as often as and even more often than Aatrox the reduced cooldown on his passive would open up more risky initiations later on in the game. Plus if we're all honest Zac's passive is just a worse version of Aatrox's in most situations. And with that type of buff it'd sit him pretty, cause he's at a decent spot right now.

Zac's passive is indeed an inferior version of Aatrox's passive, but Zac has many more perks over Aatrox: Better tankyness, more consistent (but lower) damage, more CC, more disruption...

Aatrox is receiving this buff because he's in a very problematic spot. He is one of the most gold and level dependant champions in the game due to his extremely low base health and health per level (Aatrox has about the same hp as Ashe). When behind in levels and items it can be almost impossible to get back in the game as Aatrox because all the fed assassins and carries will just oneshot you even before you get the chance to start the fight.

Zac doesn't have any of those problems. He's naturally tanky and when you finally tear through all his HP you kinda deserve to have a chance to finish him off before he revives to 70% hp. He's generally more survivable than Aatrox because his E can also be a 2000 range escape. Also, he's much cheaper to build than Aatrox and it's harder to fall behind in levels as Zac.

Awesome idea... i don't see why Aatrox should get this buff and not Zac ... 300 statics cd late game really suck! And its not like his passive was that good because the enemies can smite his blobs...

What they should really do is make his blobs unsmiteable.

One has to contribute by throwing in multiple AAs before dying, while the other contributes by being an annoying fat brat bouncing & blobbing around.

One's death is invulnerable, while the other makes life difficult for one to kill a quadra bloblets.

So my answer would be: No. Both champions have really different playstyle to benefit the CD of their passive.
